Olympic sport first held on the Seine in 1900 (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
water polo
(Other definitions for water polo that I've seen before include "Game played by swimming teams with large ball" , "Team sport with wet participants" , "Game played by tams of swimmers with large ball (5.4)" , "Seven-a-side game involving swimming" , "Game played by teams of swimmers with large ball" .)
